Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran.
Maybe ultimately it's all bluster and comes to nothing and Iran just acts antaganostic as always, but at least it smells like a hint of progress. The alternatives we've seen are either a) JCPOA which according to satellite images and readings Iran was openly flaunting and blowing through civilian grade restrictions to nuclear level uranium enrichment and b) Iran not accepting any foreign oversite. The problem here is Iran not the myriad of countries in a global society trying to come together and be creative in their thinking to police them.

Okay right-- of course and sure-- I couldn't tell due to how it was worded if you were offering anything deeper than a nod to the historical. At the end of the day the only real way to keep a country for becoming a nuclear state when you don't want them to be one is to strike militarily. And in this climate I think everyone is looking around and seeing that those countries who went rogue and developed nukes are probably better off in a "might is right" world we currently inhabit than those who took the Western's paternal offer of protection in exchange for giving up a nuclear program (e.g. Ukraine).

Not sure what you mean, but it's been credibly reported that Saudi told Iran to take a deal. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/saudi-warned-iran-reach-nuclear-deal-with-trump-or-risk-israeli-strike-2025-05-30/

Wut? By all accounts was working? I'm pretty sure on this thread a few pages back everyone agreed it was FUBAR'ed with Iran openly flouting the agreement. This is one of the few bipartisan agreements and issues that both D's and R's seem to agree on the general problem (Iran). But yes, to your point, nobody in the Trump administration will ever be confused with being diplomatic giants, but luckily enough other countries (and even Arab states) have an interest in keeping Iran in check as well.

NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
Here's the thing... I bought 5000 units at $.16 that Indiana would win the championship game ($800). After game 1 those 5000 units are at $.27 (+$550). Do I take the money and run? If IND can somehow go up 2-0 I should be at $.60 (+$2200) you would think but if OKC wins it's probably back down to .18/.19 range. Or just ride it out and pocket $5k if Indiana can win the series. What would yall do?

What am I missing? How are we folding? The reality is it's a hard ask for any country to not enrich uranium voluntarily. We have put military strikes on the table if they keep it up. Do you think that is folding? Further, our Spcial Envoy Steve Witkoff is working with Iran’s negotiators ::checks notes:: fifth round of talks and Iran is desperate to do a deal before UN/Sanctions rubberband back on them. Reports are they are having rolling black outs and the common folks are getting antsy. The lastest is as quoted below-- seems like a proper use of diplomacy if this is in any way accurate.

Wow this is equal parts hilarious and sad that this is what we are today. Reality Trash TV reaching the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man (by virtue of being the U.S. President) by playing out in something you'd see on an episode of The Surreal House is crazy.

No they haven't. They are pushing for the regional oversight consortium that will allow them to enrich uranium but well below weapons grade %'s (the red-line). Talks are on-going and from what I have read up to today (your article was 3 days ago) are positive and creative in trying to find a solution (the ayatollah's unhinged tweets from yesterday notwithstanding, but nobody takes the ayatollah seriously anymore). Trump was telling Israel to back off Iran because talks were actually progressing-- so no folding of that red line.

Iran’s 60% enrichment is too close to nuclear weapons capability for comfort. The Trump administration has called it a red line and hopes to get Russia and China on board with keeping Iran non-nuclear. The alternative? Trump's been clear: military strikes are on the table. But this is the interesting part: Iran's currently sitting on enough highly enriched uranium for 10 nuclear weapons, according to the latest IAEA report.

Tensions between the natives and Indians in Prosper?
One of the largest Hindu temples in North Texas is expanding into Frisco and hopes to bring with it the same spirit of community service it has promoted in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for decades. Over the weekend, members and volunteers from the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Irving commemorated the religious organization’s planned expansion to Frisco with a 3K charity walk to benefit two local organizations in the city. BAPS stands for Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha, a worldwide religious and civic organization within the Swaminarayan sect, a branch of Hinduism. In Texas, BAPS also has temples in Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Corpus Christi. With the continued growth of the South Asian community in the region, Patel said the organization recognized a need for a satellite temple in Frisco. Many in the congregation drive more than 45 minutes for weekly assemblies and prayers, Patel said. Last month, the temple got its certificate of occupancy to open its new location on the northeast corner of Preston Road and State Highway 121 in Frisco. The new satellite location will support more than a hundred families who live in northern portions of the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond, Patel said. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2025/06/04/baps-mandir-frisco-new-hindu-temple-charity-event/

The Texpatriates Thread
You got me curious and googled-- both FL and OK have the exact same legal status of weed; not legal recreationally but legal medicinally. And if "medicinal" status is anything like California where I can pay $50 to a yurt on Venice Beach (before it was recreationally legal) and get a medical card, we are good either way on that front!

Anybody ever leave Texas for Florida? Seems like a "Texpatriate-lite" move, but at least you get real beaches (and more hurricanes, I guess too).

French! But also TWITCH-esque. I once had a partner get positively offended when I characterized Cognizant (an obvious Indian heritage firm) as an Indian heritage firm with a "Sir, what do you MEAN? Our HQ is in Teaneck, New Jersey! We are as an American as Apple Pie"
